Monday, March 18, 2002 9:29 AM As a lesbian American woman I feel that the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund's decision to discriminate against gay and lesbian partners is unacceptable. I am appalled and saddened that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on are not automatically going to receive the same benefits as heterosexual spouses. To act as if gay America has suffered less of a loss is unbelievable. Not only everyday people died in this horrible act of terrorism, there were gay heroes as well. To not include the families of gay and lesbian victims is yet another tragedy for America. Please consider the message you are sending to the world -- that gay Americans are not as significant as straight ones. You are basically telling the terrorists it is okay for them to kill gay Americans. FOR THE MEMORY OF: And so many more...
